A classic of the late 1980s, now rare on the market! This combination of pink pinacoid and green basal terminations, both gemmy, on a dark core, is totally distinct. Almost all were found as floaters with these thin blades of Albite, making for a very aesthetic combination. Hard to find good ones on the market, today.
